ROS Demystified: A Beginner's Roadmap
Learn the essentials required to build your own robot
Description
ROS or Robot Operating System is an open-source middleware suite deemed as an essential mile stone while learning robotics. Robot Operating System (ROS) is a flexible framework for writing robot software. It provides a structured communication layer between the hardware drivers and the high-level code responsible for task execution and decision-making. ROS is not a traditional operating system but rather a middleware framework that runs on top of an existing operating system, such as Linux. It is a framework that helps researchers and developers build robot applications. ROS has a global open-source community of engineers, developers and hobbyists who contribute to develop better robots which are more accessible and available to everyone. ROS has been adopted into some of the biggest names in robotics. The majority of organisations are using ROS as it can be installed by anyone or a part of ROS in some form. Some companies like ABB, Fetch Robotics, OTTO motors use ROS for application development. ROS allows developers to easily simulate their robot in any environment, before deploying anything in the real world. Tools like Gazebo even allow you to create simulations with robots you don’t possess. This is the ideal course to learn the basics of Robot Operating System. You will be able to have a strong foundation about the essentials ROS. This course will give you a glimpse into the world of research and development of robots using ROS.
